The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people theyβre told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if theyβre broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. Theyβll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. Theyβll punch down if they think itβll get them somewhere, even if in reality theyβre punching sideways. I donβt know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what weβve come to.
Itβs not even about Trump at this point. Heβs gonna get in office and do whatever he does and itβs gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem. This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other. There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesnβt change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred. Trump has given people a shining example of how to give in to the worst parts of your human nature and make it the problem of everyone around them. I donβt even know what weβre supposed to do about that. I donβt know if thatβs something we can come back from. And if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldnβt do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldnβt have either. We are so deeply fucked.
However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what youβve done and who you are as a person.
Love yall. Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesnβt, I guess. We canβt count on the government for literally even a shred of progress or hope so just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives. Thatβs literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.
